Dartford Crossing

Need a little bit of advice. Might be going over to Tilbury tomorrow morning - need to be there for 9am - and was wondering what the traffic is normally like going south to north at about 8am on a Friday morning.

although I have heard through a source that a group is planning a massive march through the tunnels tomorrow at about 8am on behalf the Society for Being Ripped Off By These Blood Sucking Parasites Who Keep Putting The F****** Charge Up Even Though It Was Paid Off Years Ago or SBROBSPWKPTFCUETIWPOYA for short.

yep, The Princess Pocahontas is the ferry, foot passengers only. Runs from the town pier in Gravesend, and there is a bus on the other side (free I think) from Tilbury docks to Tilbury Station/Town Centre

I go over to the Basildon area once every couple of weeks for about 9am midweek and find hardly any traffic - i nearly always get there early though as you have to build in some contingency coz when it goes wrong, it can go really wrong. As a result i often find myself killing time in the LIDL/Macdonalds/Tesco triangle in Basildon which, no direspect to Basildon people obviously, must be one of the mongyist places in England.

Thought I said earlier - went by train. It took ages but at least I was the "right" (or do I mean "wrong") side of the river if things started going wrong. Got a lift back. Thought about the ferry, but it was a bit cold!
